Village of Queen Charlotte, Haida Gwaii , British Columbia, Canada, travel, holiday,
The Village of Queen Charlotte, more commonly known by its residents as Queen Charlotte City or Charlotte, is a village municipality on Haida Gwaii (formerly Queen Charlotte Islands) in the province of British Columbia, Canada. It is located on the southern end of Graham Island at Skidegate Inlet and is a member municipality of the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District.
It was incorporated in 2005, having previously been represented as part of Electoral Area F of that regional district, which was coterminous with the Queen Charlotte Islands (which now comprises Electoral Areas D and E).
The town site was established when the first sawmill in the archipelago began operating in 1908. In the wake of World War I, additional work force was needed to supply allied warplanes with lumber. The town infrastructure quickly developed, offering public education, a hospital, general stores and other amenities, even a newspaper.
Mining and especially fishing were other sources of employment in Queen Charlotte when the demand for lumber again increased by the second half of the 20th century. Today, many inhabitants are still working in these resource-based jobs but recently a shift towards more tourism-oriented employment has been observed.[3]
Queen Charlotte was incorporated in 2005 and now offers several motels, shops, restaurants, crafts and car repair shops, banks, an RCMP station and a hospital. It is also the location of the Queen Charlotte Visitor Centre, which is open year-round. With its small harbour, Queen Charlotte is often the starting-point for chartered tours into Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site on southern Moresby Island.
Queen Charlotte is just 4 km (2.5 mi) to Skidegate with its BC Ferries landing and connections to Prince Rupert.Le village de Queen Charlotte, plus connu sous le nom de Queen Charlotte City ou Charlotte, est une municipalité du village de Haida Gwaii (anciennement Queen Charlotte Islands) dans la province de Colombie-Britannique, Canada. Il est situé à l'extrémité sud de l'île Graham à Skidegate Inlet et est une municipalité membre du district régional de Skeena-Queen Charlotte.
Il a été incorporé en 2005, étant auparavant représenté dans la zone électorale F de ce district régional, qui coïncidait avec les îles de la Reine-Charlotte (qui comprend maintenant les circonscriptions électorales D et E).
Le site de la ville a été créé lorsque la première scierie de l'archipel a été mise en service en 1908. Au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, une force de travail supplémentaire était nécessaire pour fournir du bois d'œuvre aux avions de combat alliés. L'infrastructure de la ville s'est rapidement développée, offrant une éducation publique, un hôpital, des magasins généraux et d'autres commodités, même un journal.
L'exploitation minière et surtout la pêche étaient d'autres sources d'emploi à Queen Charlotte lorsque la demande de bois d'œuvre a augmenté de nouveau au cours de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. Aujourd'hui, de nombreux habitants travaillent encore dans ces emplois axés sur les ressources, mais on a récemment observé une évolution vers un emploi plus axé sur le tourisme. [3]
La reine Charlotte a été constituée en 2005 et offre maintenant plusieurs motels, magasins, restaurants, ateliers d'artisanat et de réparation de voitures, des banques, une station de la GRC et un hôpital. C'est aussi l'emplacement du Queen Charlotte Visitor Centre, ouvert toute l'année. Avec son petit port, la reine Charlotte est souvent le point de départ pour des excursions nolisées dans la réserve de parc national et le site du patrimoine haïda Gwaii Haanas, au sud de l'île Moresby.
Queen Charlotte est à seulement 4 km de Skidegate avec son atterrissage BC Ferries et ses liaisons avec Prince Rupert.

Island Community Pride - Skidegate Days, Haida Gwaii, Canada
What perfect weather for Skidegate Days, one of the Queen Charlottes most awaited summer events.
Families, friends and visitors from around the world who happen to find themselves in the viccinity of Skidegate around that time in July, are naturally drawn to this day of festivities and pride, whose ultimate objective is to raise funds for local projects.
Skidegate is one two major Haida communities in the Islands, which have been losing population over the years, especially among the young, who often must look off the Island to find employment opportunities.
Creating more jobs locally and harnessing the potential of the tourism industry, which is increasingly in the spolight, certainly is one of the best possible ways to encourage the people of Haida Gwaii to keep calling the Charlottes home.
When you grow up in this, a most exotic Island paradise on the edge of the continent, making the call to move away is always a heart-wrenching one.

Granville Island in Vancouver
The Granville Island Public Market acts as a hub of activity, but it’s also one of the city’s most important cultural districts with theatres, artisan workshops and craft studios.
In the early 1900s, Granville Island was home to factories, plants and sawmills. Things are a little different today—Granville Island is both a locals’ favorite and a huge draw for visitors. Technically a sandspit and not an island, the neighbourhood sits just south of the downtown peninsula, right under the Granville Bridge.
